WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING TO GROW OUR BOARD
Support our work in this vital role!

It is essential for us to have a board with many talents that represents the diversity of our community. Our board members are committed to preserving farmland and affordable access to land for farmers.

Members with real estate, estate planning, finance/accounting, IT and/or fundraising experience would bring needed skills. 

Interested in equity of access to farmland?  Join our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee.

​Community members are also invited to join these committees without the obligation of becoming a member of the Board of Directors.  Board and/or committee membership provides the opportunity to meet a diverse group of new and interesting people, learn broader skills, give back to your community and help keep farming viable in the South Sound

Apply Today! 

BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized members of our community are encouraged to apply!  Applicants interested in serving on the Board will be asked to provide the Nominating Committee with:
